How can I find a support group near me?

Finding a support group near you is key to your healing journey. Sadly, there are not as many groups as we need around the country, I have spoken with many survivors that there are no resources near them or even in their state. I spend time every month searching Meetup.com for new groups that have formed and updating this list. Groups open and close all the time so if you do not see a group near you on my list below – go onto meetup.com and search in your area. Search terms like Narcissist, PTSD, Trauma, Codependency, emotional abuse.
Every group is different, some are led by other survivors and some are led by therapists. Some cost a small fee to help cover their costs of having the group on meetup so be aware as you look in your area and understand before you go if there is a fee. I lead two groups here in Colorado Boulder and Arvada and my format is to discuss a topic of the month, then break down in small groups so everyone can share and be validated. Most groups will be more people sharing, so if you have choices and don’t like one group then try another because they all offer different formats.
